What is the best way to protect a sit-stand desk surface?

A desk pad covering the primary work zone (18"×36" to 24"×48") is the most effective surface protection for daily use. For heavier protection, a 1/8" tempered glass top cut to your desk's dimensions works well — it's scratch-proof and easy to disinfect, though it adds 15–25 lbs to your surface load. Avoid placing hot items directly on any laminate surface and use mouse pads under mice to prevent micro-abrasion over time.
